I'd like to see it updated too. I'm not an expert, but I'd be happy to try to dig up some representative scores between teams (seems like that's what you needed last time). One issue: teams from different conferences (e.g. Brazil & Germany) don't play each other competitively very often (pretty much only in the finals of the World Cup). So getting rankings across conferences could be tricky.

After spending the last few weeks doing heavy duty javascript for my new http://www.tfdocs.com site, and having an absolute ball, i think i can pretty much guarantee that i will update the world cup predictor for 2010.

So it's ready to roll.. Though it's missing any expert ratings so it's not going to be of much use until then.

However, if you want to get a feel for how this tool for calculating betting advice differs from a tool to predict the winner -- select the "Uniform Ratings" from expert ratings list, click Load, then Start the simulation.

What you should see over time is now every team equally likely to win the tournament. Now look at the Expected Profit columns. Red entries are expected profitable bets, the higher the better. Note that Honduras is the highest expected payoff -- which makes sense since it's the team that has the highest payoff odds and we are assuming for this experiment that all teams are equally likely to win.
